Production
Aluminium is a relatively new engineering material and one of the planet's most commonly available metals. However, aluminium does not present itself naturally. Aluminium forms part of other compounds, and production involves isolating the aluminium from these compounds.
Extraction
Bauxite is mined and subsequently processed into alumina or aluminium oxide. Electrolytic processing produces pure aluminium from alumina or aluminium oxide.
